OT: Awesome Line about Michigan / Ohio in Glee
My wife is an avid Glee fan and occasionally I catch a scene or two -- anyway, there was an awesome one-liner on the show tonight:
"You ever look at a map? Ohio is like a giant turd that Michigan just can't pinch off."
There was also a reference in a prior episode to Michigan dominating Ohio in recruiting. See link:

If you ever again use a quote or plot line from Glee or any similar show as the basis for a thread I will campaign the mods so fucking hard to get you bolivian-ed. Regardless of the context, there's a point where certain boundaries, most especially during the season, should not be crossed. And you sir, have just crossed one of those boundaries. I'm sure it's a fine show, and I'm sure it was a humorous line, especially for U of M fans, but please keep this blog sacred by keeping politics, religion, RCMB/MLive type antics and Glee out of it.

This entire thread is spot on -- except for the fellows who are to ardent in their criticism of Glee. It's entirely plausible that the OP occasionally catches "glimpses" of this mysterious, albeit popular, woman-oriented show, and he happened to see a Michigan/Ohio reference when passing through the tv room to grab a beer. Entirely plausible. I suspect he even had a Milwaukee or a Rigid Sawsall in his hand as he paused between jobs, nodding proudly at his wife's feminine interest in a show about a group of misfit kids kicking out the showtunes on the big stage. All good!

WTF, man? I'll chalk this one up to you having had a few too many in conjunction with the Thursday night football/drinking thread.

I don't think I've ever seen that ad.
YOU: BUSTED.
September 14th, 2012 at 1:34 AM ^
That's what happens when someone posts a Glee thread here...Google thinks we'd like Jane Lynch ads. Next up handbag and Crystal Light ads...
September 14th, 2012 at 9:16 AM ^
I just wanted to acknowledge that you sir (5th and long) are one of my favorite new poster's on the board. Glad to have you here.
September 14th, 2012 at 11:26 AM ^
Ummm...it takes more than one thread on a certain topic in order to trip our set level for Google AdChoices (so that you don't end up with a million Ohio State and MSU ads all the time). So you shouldn't be getting Jane Lynch ads coming up unless...
September 14th, 2012 at 12:13 PM ^
Ummmm, yeah Seth...I mean this is what I actually saw. The Jane Lynch thing was totally a photoshop...yeah.
September 14th, 2012 at 12:19 PM ^
well i went searching for old JeepinBen articles for dear diary and now all I'm getting is Jeep commercials. Go away Jeep -- I just bought a new Subaru (from Diallo Johnson's mom--true story).

Only 16 points and even I know better than use the words "Glee" and "Awesome" together on this board.
Maybe some Kate to help put the MGoBlog universe back into balance...

Glee can make fun of Ohio....but damned if that state has not produced some of the best players and coaches in Michigan football history...so have to give them props for that much. Also I used to date a girl from Strongsville way back when and she put out nicely. Here is Bo and Woody

The real "giant turd" IMO is up in East Lansing.

to cover ohio as well as EL.
September 14th, 2012 at 6:52 AM ^
I've seen probably 1 minute and 12 seconds of a Glee episode. I wanted to shoot myself in the face.
And to the OP...you do realize there were two football games on last night right? Pro and college. No excuses.

September 14th, 2012 at 8:19 AM ^
Some posters protest too much, methinks.
September 14th, 2012 at 8:42 AM ^
You do know that "protests" doesn't mean what you think it means, right? Protest had a completely different meaning in Shakespeare's era, and in the context of Hamlet it has nothing to do with someone complaining about something...
See mom, majoring in English did eventually come in handy!
September 14th, 2012 at 10:06 AM ^
I apologize to those readers of MGoBlog from Shakespeare's era for any confusion I may have caused.
September 14th, 2012 at 10:27 AM ^
September 14th, 2012 at 10:51 AM ^
I believe, at least in the way it's used in that line in Hamlet, it means to vow or to promise .

A friend of mine from HS (and at UM) married the producer of that show (also a UM grad), so thats likely why we're seeing these references.
Still doesn't make me want to watch it, however..... but hey, its just not my bag, baby.

file my invisible Glee DVD over there on the shelf next to my invisible Swedish Penis Pump.
September 14th, 2012 at 9:20 AM ^
...for what they did to Don't Stop Believin. It was an alright song before, and then they made a really shitty cover of it which eventually eclipsed the Journey version in popularity and seared itself into my brain, never to be dislodged or redeemed.
Also, the commercials for it are simply appalling.
September 14th, 2012 at 9:54 AM ^
I've never heard the cover, and now I'll make sure I always avoid the cover.
September 14th, 2012 at 10:02 AM ^
It's about how you spend your precious time as a collection of (mostly) coherent molecules. I avoid watch anything that features:
- people who in no way resemble a normal group of people
- people doing things that in no way are what people normally do
- overt manipulation of the viewer's concept of what consititutes 'desireable'
- people collected for purposes of artificial games or public humiliation
While I am a sucker for action movies (violates the first two groundrules), overall, I'd have to say I'm pretty boring. But, at least I retain my self-esteem.
September 14th, 2012 at 12:31 PM ^
Try every form of entertainment, electronic or otherwise out there. Heck, sports would violate most of your rules.
September 14th, 2012 at 10:23 AM ^
I like Glee. So what of it? I am married and we enjoy watching the show. I was a former band and theater geek in high school.
I have not watched this episode yet because I was recording it on my DVR while I was watching the Bears/Packers game. Woodson's comments after the game on Cutler were fricken hilarious.
